All I can say is that I have K6's in *all* of my 80x86 type Unix boxes
these days. I've had no trouble with them, and they *whomp* the Intel
chips. (My benchmark is 'rc564'.)
My systems never had the F00F hang, either.
Anyway, YMMV, but the K6 certainly seems to work just fine. The only
problem I have that I haven't tracked down is that my BSD/OS box with a
K6-233 can't probe a 2940 correctly, even though the card works fine in
a P-120... But it works fine with other cards, and I use it heavily.
YMMV; I think the K6 is a good deal.
